Wait until you get to Storm of Swords.
I was reading that. Then I got to the red wedding, got pissed off and quit reading. I'm not sure if I'm going to pick it back up again.
Martin loves to kill his characters doesn't he? I was furious after the red wedding. Hell even after I read the series the second time i was *still* pissed about that.0 -
I am an avid book lover. I read all fiction genres. I like some types more than others. i have so many many favorites that I cant possibly start to list them. But the last book I read was Cold Days by Jim Butcher. I just started The Twelve by Justin Cronin.0

Mmmmmm. Books.
Anything by Charlaine Harris (go beyond Sookie Stackhouse), Jim Butcher's Dresden files series, Carole Nelson Douglas, Midnight Louie series, Alexander McCall Smith's #1 Ladies Detective series and his Isabel Dalhousie series, Anything by Steven Brust, Rita Mae and Sneaky Pie Brown, Janet Evanovich, .......and so on.
Rick Mercer's books are a riot (but kind of Canadian specific) and John Rolston Saul will make you think, as will Gwynn Dyer.
I have grown out of my upstairs "library" and have filled both walls of bookshelves in may basement. I now try to get most things in e-books to save space.....0 -
I love books as well, i wish i could make a living out of reading them..... Maybe I should start a blog about the books I read and maybe just maybe I can make a living out of it..... I've seriously been thinking this all week since I've read two to three books in a day, everyday this week!
I'm really picky and find that if i can't get into the book in the first chapter it ain't happening. I find myself drawn to certain authors: Nora Roberts, Janet Evanovich (I LOVE Stephanie Plum book series!), Nicholas Sparks etc. yup i like romance novels because well i just do
Lately because I'm poor haha I've been reading a lot of free or inexpensive books on my Kindle right now I am reading The Bad Boy Billionaire Series from Judy Angelo. (though her books aren't long and tend to have the same repeatitive words, oh well they're a kick)
I do too... read free books on my Kindle. I love to discover new and "unpopular" authors. Do you have a library card? If you do check your library's ebook collection. I mainly use mine and only buy a few books a year, all the other ones are borrowed from the library.(My husband is very happy about it...)0 -
I mostly own a lot of philosophy/esoteric books. But my fiction collection has a lot of Anne Rice, classic horror literature, and poetry. I am currently reading 2 books; Dharma Punx by Noah Levine and Getting Stoned with Savages by J. Maarten Troost0

I read all kinds of stuff, depending on what sort of mood I'm in.
Ayn Rand
George Orwell
Hunter S Thompson
Ken Kesey
Marion Zimmer Bradley
The Hobbit
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo Trilogy
Theres a million more, it would take me all day. i'm reading the Hunger Games now. I'm thinking next year I'm going to try to read some of the Star Wars books. (There's a lot)0 -
Oh I love how the library has incorporated ebooks! It makes reading so easy and fun0

If you like graphic novels, The Sandman, Transmetropolitan, and Preacher are all great.
Sandman was awesome and I'm working my way through Preacher right now. For graphic novels/comics, I'd also have to add Y: The Last Man and The Walking Dead.
I just picked up the first trade of Y: The Last Man! I haven't started it yet, but it's next on my list. I'm also about to start reading Fables and Lucifer, which I hear are great as well.0 -
Gawd. I mean, I actually tried to read 50 Shades. I got like 3 chapters in before I gave up.
Is it just me or did every time the main chick said "Oh my...." it reminded you of George Tekai? I mean, how could I take it seriously after that?
ROFL!0 -
Fun fact: I was on my high school's reading team.
We read some awesome books and answers questions on them in competition. ^_^0 -

Yeah, which you'd think I'd be used to since I read The Walking Dead but it made me soooooo mad.I just picked up the first trade of Y: The Last Man! I haven't started it yet, but it's next on my list. I'm also about to start reading Fables and Lucifer, which I hear are great as well.
My husband has been trying to get me to read Fables, but I think once I'm done with Preacher, I'm gonna start on Locke and Key.0 -
Ken Follet books are the best......Pillars of the Earth
I loved Pillars and World Without End... And didn't think the TV shows did them any justice at all.
Does anyone else think that when George RR Martin wrote the GoT series, he had a set of gamer dice by him and when he didn't know what do have happen next or what to do with a character he just rolled the dice? It is really quite realistic that when his characters have big plans and something in motion.... it just ends! Not everything goes along as you plan or expect. I liked that.0 -
I am in love with books!!!! My Dad also built the most Amazing bookshelf. I read a lot of Christian books. My favorite is Crazy Love.
^Never heard of it. Thanks for the suggestion. :flowerforyou:0 -
I am reading a few at the moment. "The Stand" by Stephen King. I have a love/hate with this book.
Also reading; "The Presidents Club" by Nancy Gibbs and Michael Duffy
The best book that I loved is: "The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg0 -
Right now, I'm reading cheesy Christmas novels. I pack them away with my Christmas decorations and re-read them every year. You know, the ones where everyone is unhappy, a Christmas miracle occurs and then everyone is happy . My favorites are "A Redbird Christmas", "The Christmas Pearl", and, of course, "A Christmas Carol."0

^ If you want to read some creepy Fables and/or Fairy Tales, read the works of the Grimm Brothers (1786 - 1859). IMO0 -
I'm currently reading, "The Diary of a Submissive."
I love everything written by John Steinbeck, J.R. Tolkien, and I like, (some, not all), Hemmingway.
I love to pick up books that are unpopular. Books that most people would not read. It's interesting to read things you never would have thought of.0 -
Harry Potter Series, The Mortal Instruments Series, Dark Tower Series, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Hobbit, Jane Eyre, Anna Karenina, ah I love to read...
